A long-term programme of surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme ((WHO WPR GASP) continued in 1999. Over 10,000 gonococci were examined in 18 focal centres. Resistance to the quinolones and penicillins was already high in many parts of the Western Pacific ...

Effective treatment of gonorrhoea in the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region is hampered by the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. A programme of surveillance of gonococcal susceptibility to antibiotics (GASP) continued in the region in 1998. A high proportion of isolates in many participating countries was resistant to quinolones and p...

The diffuse ionized gas (DIG) is an important component of the interstellar medium that can provide insights into different physical processes affecting in galaxies. We utilise optical IFU observations 71 gas-stripped and control galaxies from Gas Stripping Phenomena (GASP) survey, to analyze properties dense DIG, such as metallicity, ionization parameter log(q), difference between measured $\l...

Escherichia coli cells that are aged in batch culture display an increased fitness referred to as the growth advantage in stationary phase, or GASP, phenotype. A common early adaptation to this culture environment is a mutant rpoS allele, such as rpoS819, that results in attenuated RpoS activity. However, it is important to note that during long-term batch culture, environmental conditions are ...

The diffuse ionized gas (DIG) is an important component of the interstellar medium and it can be affected by many physical processes in galaxies. Measuring its distribution contribution emission allows us to properly study both ionization star formation Here, we measure for first time DIG 38 gas-stripped galaxies local clusters drawn from GAs Stripping Phenomena with MUSE survey (GASP). These a...

Background GPR55 was recently found to be a novel cannabinoid receptor containing a seven transmembrane-spanning domain and being a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) subfamily A. GPR55 is activated by different cannabinoid ligands as well as by the lipid ligand lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI). Generally, the activity of GPCRs is coordinated by receptor signaling, receptor desensiti...
